You hold the copyright for your own material. So you can use it elsewhere.

Out of politeness it's not a great idea to have the same story running on rival satire sites (Daily Mash, etc) at the same time, as it looks a bit cynical or makes it look like the sites are copying each other.

((That said, sometimes NB writers submit a story to another site long after it seems NB has forgotten it - only to find both sites running the story simultaneously.))

The rule of thumb is that the majority of stories, if they are going to used by NB, get used within that news week. The NB editors usually do a week at a time, so they might hold back a story a few days before they use it.

I don't get round much but the only other satire sites I know of that take submissions are NewsThump and the Spoof. If your sub doesn't get picked up on NB and you get it accepted on one of those, then just type "withdrawn" in the comments.

Come on Joe, don't leave us hanging you have been a member for two years and you have spent 17 minutes online! And this is the first topic you have started. Come on we have all been waiting for over two years now please put us out of our misery. Write something.

Joe, write the article first, then decide whether the content & style fit NewsBiscuit or elsewhere. Hopefully NB, of course. Give it a decent period to see if it catches the editor's eye, then offer your apologies here and try elsewhere.

Anything goes here, though most front page items have a broadly similar format - but don't be constrained by that. Get it written first.
